Answer 2

Answer:

Let the required number be ' x '

According to the given problem

• Equation :--- 2(x + 5) = 20

Now, by solving for x, we get

$2(x + 5) = 20 \\ (x + 5) = \frac{20}{2} \\ (x + 5) = 10 \\ x = 10 - 5 \\ \boxed{ x = 5}$

• 2(x + 5) = 20 is the required equation
• x = 5 is the required value of x
